Good Job by the Railroad!
A. Bob Lowe Mrt In an article that he has written for Jhe
MnwthUwwk It seemed quite km shot that the Union
KcTfic r&lJoad TbranT line could be repaired from damage of
thC S'a.rnyd the train
branch line also resumed service to Heppner Lumber Co.. Mor
mu; Countv Grain Growers and others. ,
TO In short the railroad s fat work kept our ' heeU of corn
merce and industry going after a minimum shutdown In the
WakThil?tne Operation, exhibited by the railroad company
and implemented Into action,, is most PPUted jurwj;
munltv It means a great deal to our economy, and it Is gratuy
inc to Vknow hat therallroad officials recogrjlze ' the fact
There is a tendency to take for granted thoe who serve
constantly and faithfully and it is onh jwhen this J UJJ
that it is truly apprec ated. This may be a bit of tne case wiui
tr branch 1 ne" and for that reason It might be somewhat of
a ko thing that it was out of service for 21 days, from the
standpoint of our mental conditioning.-
Lowe's story brings out how faithful the service has been
nd what the railroad has meant to the county through the vears.
For the e" re county, this paper expresses appreciation to
the En o i Paclfte for Its great and speedy Job of restorauorL
was miEhty good to have the train come to town Monday, as it

sourceful researchers, it is now my pleasure to present a few
of the items that forecasters (even us) often forget.
Here are some thinps that will happen In 19o5.

IT MUST HAVE been Quite a
Mpht to see the eight big Kin
rua trucks going down the high
wav and through Portland en
route to Co. Bay Friday- They
were carrying some of Eastern
Oregon's finest logs for test peel
ing at a plywood plant in th-f
coastal town.
Even in the heart of the log
ging area in western Oregon the
sight of eight trucks In a con
voy would cau.ne considerable
t,neculatlon. and Joe Wright, one
of the drivers, said that a good
many people stoppea in rneir
tracks to stare at the sight.
Since they took off at 3 a.m.
Friday, there wasnt a chance to
get any pictures, and none of
the drivers thought to bring a
camera to give the convoy a
photographic treatment In day

towards Coos Bay with the roads
thom in hurt sharx from the
floods and from the bad weather
encountered. They also naa a
flat tire on one or me iruiKs
en route over and a bit of w heel
trouble on another coming
home, but they got back into
Heppner Saturday night abo-t
12. safe and sound.
It is good to show the western
part of the state that we in
Eastern Oregon have some
"good sticks" to display, too.
Might have been nice If the boys
could have been routed around
the home of Sen. Vernon Cook
in Multnomah county to show
him Just how big the sage brush
grows in eastern Oregon- We
hope never to let him forget that
he is the one who said eastern
Oregon is good only for sage
brush and jackrabbits.
TO THE
EDITOR. .
To The Editor:
For some time I have been
wondering if any of the long time
residents of Morrow county
could possibly remember the
reason for the name Butter Creek.
Last year in the new map of
Oregon put out by the Geograp
hic Society, it was listed as But
ler Creek, which I knew was an
error, as my grandfather and
father (Robert and William Doug
lass) took up land there, and
lived there from around 1870 till
1S98. I was born there but was
quite young when we came to
New York. Up until the time of
the Heppner flood, we talked of
going back for a visit, but my
father knew every adult who lost
his life at that time, and a visit
was never considered again. The
recent storms and floods have
brought this much to my mind.
I visited Oregon in 1947, spent
a day around Heppner, and visit
ed mv grandfather's grave in the
old pioneer cemetery near Lena
on Butter Creek. I was much
pleased to find it fenced, and
apparently cared for. Every name
in it was familiar.
Butter Creek certainly was not
named for the presence of much
dairy product. After my father
married, he had to rope, throw
and tie a cow in order to get a
little milk.
Thanking you in advance,
Yours very truly,

Cooking Club Plans
For Mothers' Tea
When roll call was taken at
the last meeting of the Butter
finger's 4-H Cooking club, there
were only 10 out of 16 members
present. We talked about our
Mother's Tea. We decided to in
vite two other people besides
those who were mothers of mem

Miss George. Afterwards we
made some cookies: peanutbut
